GAVIN BISHOP knew he
wanted to be an artist when he was
four.
Seventy-two years on, more
than 70 published books and
countless national awards later, he is
continuing to do just that.
Bishop was born in Invercargill,
but moved to Christchurch to study
at the Canterbury University School
of Fine Arts and graduated with an
honours degree in painting in 1976.
He then became an art teacher
at Te Aratai College, formerly
Linwood College, before moving to
Christ’s College, when another art
teacher suggested he write a book
for children.

SUMNER’S RUGBY future
continues to be in good
hands.
On page 14, we cover the
colts’ latest victory – a 41-0
hammering of Christchurch,
which propels them into
Saturday’s semi-finals.
Having a good mix of older
hands and hard nuts, and up
and coming young players, is
vital to a good sports team –
or workplace for that matter.
Sumner has a good supply
of these ingredients, so the
next few years continue to
look positive.

A SURVEY is revealing a strong
sense of community in the
Lyttelton Harbour and Port Levy
areas.
The purpose of the city
council survey is to gain a better
understanding of risk tolerance
from the impacts of sea level rise.
“An understanding of
community risk tolerance
can help the community,
rūnanga and council make
informed, community-specific
decisions during phase three of
the coastal hazards adaptation
planning programme, ’ said head
of planning and consents, John
Higgins.
Phase three is collaboration
adaptation planning with
communities. Those in the
Lyttelton/Mt Herbert area will
be first. It is estimated this phase
wi l take at least 1.5 years to do
properly.
So far the survey, which wi l
close on Friday, has had more
than 100 responses.

Coastal Pathway needs city council funding
THE CITY council will need
to dip into its pockets to pay for
the final section of the Coastal
Pathway.
The Government gave the city
council $15.8 million in Shovel
Ready funding to build the
missing section of the pathway
between the eastern end of
Redcliffs Village and Shag Rock.
But the final cost is expected to
be $17.3 million.

Jane Davis
said funds
were held in
contingency
for the project to cover any
increased cost.
Staff will seek approval next
week from city councillors to
draw down the funds.
Said Davis: “The marine
environment and the narrow
road posed all sorts of unknown
challenges, but the team now
fully understands what’s
required, how long it will take,
and what it will cost.
“Our focus has always been
on delivering a quality, futureproof
pathway while keeping the
impact on the environment and
the community to a minimum,
and we always knew this section
of pathway was going to be
complicated,” Davis said.
“However, we’ve faced some
additional challenges, including
Covid-19 related delays in obtaining
construction materials,
that have added to the costs of
the project.
“Fulton Hogan developed a
different way of delivering the
works that addressed many of
the challenges associated with
the marine environment and
ground conditions.
“Because this area of Moncks
Bay is known as an early settlement
area for both Māori and
Europeans, the cost also includes
archaeological and cultural
monitoring of all excavation
works, and monitoring of white
flippered penguins that breed in
the area.”
Davis said amending some of
the resource consents to accommodate
these changes resulted in
additional design and consenting
costs, but has reduced the risks
and provided greater certainty
over the final cost.

NEW RELEASES
A Fish In the Swim of the World
by local lyttelton author/poet Ben Brown
Affecting and evocative, this classic memoir by one of Aotearoa’s finest Maori writers
is now updated with new material.
‘This is a book of memories. Some of them are my own. Some of them belong to
others. They are as true and as fallible as any memories—distorted by time and
distance and a writer’s choice of words…’ In the debut memoir that kickstarted a
writing career that has spawned more than 20 books, including many award-winners,
Ben Brown writes of a quintessentially New Zealand way of living that may not change
the world or even ripple its waters, but is replete with meaning.
Gathered from the tobacco-green valleys of the Motueka River where he grew up
during the 1960s and 1970s, Brown’s memoir is rich with a sense of place, of family.
Each story, each portrait, resonates with the dignity, warmth and understated humour
of one of our finest poetic voices.

How a People-First Culture turned silver into Gold
by rikki swannell
When Tyla Nathan-Wong popped over the conversion in what was the final act of the
Rio Olympic gold medal match, her distraught face said it all. It was a look that was
mirrored across the faces of the entire New Zealand team, slumped around the ground
at the Deodoro Stadium as Australia celebrated their history making Olympic gold
medal at the 2016 Games. It’s all well and good to have the best athletes, but if there
was one thing everyone involved in the Black Ferns Rio Olympic campaign had learned
it’s that what happens off the field can make or break what happens on it. A reset was
needed and “people first” would be at the heart of that change. Led by new coach
Allan Bunting and a large, diverse leadership group, the Black Ferns Sevens set course
on what would turn out to be a five-year path to not only win gold at the Tokyo Olympics
and be world dominant but to enhance the mana of the jersey and inspire people.
The Widows of Champagne
by renee ryan
In this captivating story of resilience, three generations of women battle to save their
family’s vineyard from the ravages of WWII. Champagne, 1939
Gabrielle Leblanc Dupree is taking her family’s future into her hands. While she should be
preparing for a lavish party to celebrate two centuries of champagne making, she secretly
hides Chateau Fouché-Leblanc’s most precious vintages behind a fake wall in the cellar in
preparation for the looming war. But when she joins the resistance, the coveted
champagne isn’t the most dangerous secret her cellar must conceal…
There’s even more at stake than Hélène dares admit. She has kept her heritage a
secret…and no one is safe in Nazi-occupied France.
Across years and continents, the Leblanc women will draw on their courage and wits,
determined against all odds to preserve their lives, their freedom and their legacy…
No Excuses: My Story
From crime to community and fat to fit
by dave letele
The amazing true story of Dave “the Brown Buttabean” Letele and how he turned his
life around. Dave Letele’s incredible life has taken him from footy to failure, crime to
community, fat to fit and riches to rags -- and back again.
Today, he is an award-winning community leader and life coach who, as the face of
Buttabean Motivation, helps literally thousands of ordinary people achieve their goals.
He provides targeted health and fitness programmes, helps young people find jobs,
and runs a foodshare for those in need. But it wasn’t always like that. He has overcome
poverty, obesity, intergenerational trauma, depression, the lure of a life of crime and
his own demons. Like Dave says, “I’ve been at the bottom and I’ve been at the top,
and everywhere in between … If I can do it, you can. No excuses.” This is his story.
Eddy, Eddy
by Kate de Goldi
Eddy, Eddy is a coming of age story, a love story, an earthquake story and a story of
finding your way back from grief. Eddy Smallbone (orphan) is grappling with identity,
love, loss, and religion. It’s two years since he blew up his school life and the
earthquakes felled his city. Home life is maddening. His pet-minding job is expanding in
peculiar directions. And now the past and the future have come calling - in unexpected
form. As Eddy navigates his way through the Christchurch suburbs to Christmas,
juggling competing responsibilities and an increasingly noisy interior world, he moves
closer and closer to an overdue personal reckoning. Eddy, Eddy is a richly layered novel,
deftly written with humour and pathos: a love story, peopled with flawed and comical
characters, both human and animal; and a story of grief, the way its punch may leave
you floundering - and how others can help you find your way back.

Bay area bus service well received
COMMUNITY ACTION has
led to the reinstatement of a
public bus service from the bays
area to Lyttelton.
It started on Monday, just in
time for the beginning of term 3,
enabling students to travel into
the city for school.
It was well received with
around 15 Cass Bay teenagers
getting on board.

applauded the

actions of three
residents who
had lobbied for
the service.
He said it was thanks to Cathy
Lum-Webb, Luanna Swindells
and Jenny Healey for working
hard to make the new service
happen for their community.
“Their efforts, energy and
determination are just what we
need to ensure our port and bay
communities are well supported
into the future,” Davidson said.
He said up until four years ago,
the combined bays of Corsair,
Cass, and Rāpaki had been
serviced by a reliable public bus
service. But then a reduction

in public transport services
left many students and others
without a dependable mode of
transport.
Lum-Webb of Cass Bay
and Swindells of Rāpaki Bay
swung into action, petitioning
the Ministry of Education
and Environment Canterbury
to reinstate bus services to
these areas. They also put in
submissions to city councillors,
while Healey presented a further
submission on behalf of the Cass
Bay Residents Association.
The new service leaves Rāpaki
Bay at 7.15am, which is a good
time for students as it gives
‘This new service is good for
the environment, good for
high school students and
might even let some parents
have a sleep in.’

them sufficient time to catch a
connecting number 28 bus from
Lyttelton.
Previously, they had to rely on
either a 6.25am or 8.50am bus,
with the first arriving too early
for the start of school, and the
second too late.
“This new service is good for
the environment, good for high
school students and might even
let some parents have a sleep in,”
Davidson said.
Fellow community board
member Tyrone Fields said the
new public transport option was
welcomed in the face of climate
change.
“But for the Peninsula, it’s also
about having that connection
to the wider city now and into
the future. And to cap it off we
have some of the most visually
stunning bus routes in the
world,” Fields said.
Lum-Webb, who is a
community board candidate
for the upcoming local body
election, said she was grateful to
ECan for listening to residents.
Your Local MP for Banks Peninsula

Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere is significant
in our region for its contribution to
biodiversity. Recently, Minister for
Conservation Poto Williams and I visited
to meet DOC staff and volunteers, and
see a Jobs for Nature team in action
restoring the wetlands. The Te Waihora
Jobs for Nature programme is creating
jobs for 31 people over a four year period
and involves planting more than 250,000
eco-sourced native plants and trees.
It’s just one of the Jobs for Nature projects
across the Banks Peninsula electorate.
Planting in Avoca Valley, the restoration
of Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour, and
the pest and weed control work across
the Port Hills and the Peninsula will
make a real difference to the health of our
environment and create jobs to boot.
Speaking of health - I’m proud that
this government stands for quality
healthcare for all New Zealanders, no
matter who you are or where you live.
The health system we inherited was
under serious pressure from years of
underinvestment. It wasn’t working for
patients or the health workforce. We
had 20 disconnected health systems, so
in response we’ve delivered Te Whatu
Ora – Health New Zealand and Te Aka
Whai Ora – the Māori Health Authority.
It puts an end to the postcode lottery
which meant that where you lived
determined what care you got, and brings
a focus on prevention rather than the
ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.
Creating ‘localities’ also ensures that local
voices and specific local needs are at the
forefront of health delivery. There’s still a
lot more to do but this is a healthy step in
the right direction.
Earlier this month, I took a bunch of
colleagues from the health and social
well-being caucus committee to visit the
Hōhepa campus on Barrington Street.
Hōhepa is an amazing community that
offers a range of services for disabled
people, including residential services as
well as day programmes. The goal is to
support people to live independently.
They’ve recently opened two new homes
for 12 residents, and provide housing
for 140 people across their Halswell,
Barrington, and other locations.

New-look Santa parade will be free for all
THE SANTA parade is back
with a new name, look and
venue – and will be free for all.
After a three-year hiatus due
to the Covid-19 pandemic, The
Christchurch Christmas Show
Parade is ready to make its big
comeback at 2pm on Sunday,
December 18 at the Canterbury
Showgrounds.
The parade will take on a fresh
new approach to the old Santa
parade, with all the historic and
beautiful floats being brought
to life with singers, actors and
dancers as they make their way
round the roading system at the
Canterbury Showgrounds. The
floats will be laced together with
bands, marching teams, community
and cultural groups.
The day will be a fun family
event with entertainment, a
Christmas market, food vendors,
bouncy castles, amusements
and two large picnic areas that
families can enjoy, said parade
director Jason Reekers.
“We will have parking on
site as well as public transport
options. The Canterbury Showgrounds
is a perfect venue for the
parade. The roading system is
safe and it means we don’t have
to close any of the city’s roads
and inconvenience any businesses
or emergency traffic routes,”
he said.
The Christchurch Children’s
Christmas Parade Trust is a notfor-profit
charitable trust that
is still looking for Christchurch
businesses to get behind and
support this new event with
sponsorship.
The trust has been given a
$45,000 grant from the city
council. It has also secured
grants from charitable foundations,
but needs to raise more
funds.
“The event is partially
self-funded with money raised
from parade naming rights and
float sponsorship. This is a huge
task and we really need local
businesses to come out and support
us so the trust can put on a
great event for the community,’’
Reekers said.
“We are seeking a naming
rights sponsor, as well as individual
sponsors for our 22 spectacular
floats.
“In return for their sponsorship,
sponsors will get a bit more
this time than the traditional
‘sign on a float’,” he said.
“This is the first of what we
hope will be many more years
to come at the showgrounds, the
parade’s new permanent home.”
Forty-two volunteers braved
the weather to plant more
than 600 trees at the
annual community planting
day at Steadfast Reserve
in Cass Bay on Sunday.
This is the third year of
riparian planting, as part
of the Whaka Ora Healthy
Harbour project, to reduce
sedimentation in Lyttelton
Harbour and increase
biodiversity in the Cass Bay
area. Among the volunteers
were nine students from
the United States, who
have arrived to study at
Canterbury University, and
four Cashmere High School
students.

‘Writing books for our children with
stories about us is really important’
• From page 1
“It was kind of weird because it
was just out of the blue that this
person said this and it struck a
chord with me,” Bishop said.
“I suddenly realised that was
something I’d been thinking
about doing for a really long
time, but I had never got around
to doing it.”
English publishing company
Oxford University Press (OUP)
expressed it was looking for
material that had a “strong
New Zealand flavour” and had
representatives visit Wellington
at the time.
Bishop liked the idea of this, as
he hadn’t grown up reading New
Zealand books.
“When I was a child all of the
books I read came from England,
Australia, America mainly. It
was a very exciting proposal.”
So Bishop got in contact with
OUP and made a start on his
first book about a sheep, as sheep
farming was a major industry in
the 1980s. He called it Bidibidi.
However, the book took a few
years to publish as Bishop had to
learn how to write and illustrate
for children, something an OUP
editor helped him with.
The second book Bishop wrote
he set in Linwood, where he was
still teaching, and even used the
old Edmonds baking powder
factory on Ferry Rd as one of the
major buildings in the book. He
called it Mrs McGinty and the
Bizarre Plant.
Bishop said writing this book
was “much more straightforward”
as he began to get the
hang of creating stories for children,
and it was even published
before Bidibidi.
Bishop continued to teach
art, while working on his books
at the same time, often in the
school holidays and at night after
dinner.
In 1998. he decided to pursue
writing and illustrating books
full-time. He remembers handing
in his letter of resignation
to the headmaster at Christ’s
College.
“He rung me up and said ‘are
you sure you want to do this’ and
I said ‘yup’ and he said ‘would
you like me to tear the letter up’
and I said ‘no, I’m really going to
go ahead with this’.”
That year Bishop wrote a book
called The House that Jack Built,
which looked at the impacts of
colonialism on New Zealand.
“It was very successful and
in fact it’s being used still, in
schools. That’s a book that’s been
around for quite some time and
looks as if it’s going to be still.”
Bishop recalls the moment he
knew he wanted to be an artist at
the age of four when a signwriter
came to a small town called
Kingston, south of Queenstown,
where he was living at the time.
The signwriter came to paint
some signs outside the Kingston

pub – which has since burnt
down – and while he was there,
he was asked to paint a big mural
on the wall above the bar.
Bishop hadn’t seen a real
painting before and was allowed
to go and watch the signwriter at
work.
“I used to stand watching him
paint this big scene of the lake
up on the wall and I found that
absolutely magical,” he said.
“That’s when I think I thought,
that’s what I want to do.”
Because Bishop was taller than
most kids his age, lots of adults
would tell him he should become
a policeman.
“That’s all you had to be, you
didn’t have to be fit or smart or
clever or anything like that, you
just had to be tall and I would
say ‘I don’t want to be a policeman,
I want to be an artist’.”
Bishop remembers the first
time he saw his book on sale at
the old Whitcoulls on Cashel St,
which was demolished after the
earthquakes.
“I can remember walking
through there and seeing my
first book for sale and they had
a mountain of it, they had like
a hundred or more copies all
stacked up and stacked on the
floor I think.”
He can’t remember if it was
Bidibidi or Mrs McGinty and the
Bizarre Plant, but he asked the
shop assistant if they wanted him
to sign the books.
“I sat down and spent ages
signing these books, and what
was wonderful was they all sold
quite quickly and they had to get
some more in,” he said.
Bishop works from his studio
at his Cashmere home with
his wife Vivien, who he met at
art school. She was also an art
teacher, for Avonside Girls’ High
School.
When asked what she thought
about his achievements he
laughed and said he didn’t know.
“We don’t talk about it much,
it’s just part of our lives.
“Sometimes I’ll grab her to
look at my work and get her to
tell me what she thinks is wrong
with it,” he said.
FAMILY: Gavin Bishop with
his daughter Alexandra and
his book Chicken Licken
in 1984. PHOTO: CCL
Bishop and Vivien have three
daughters and three grandchildren,
who have all grown up
reading his books.
On a couple of occasions
his grandchildren have made
suggestions for books they would
like to read, which Bishop has
carried out.
When his grandson George
was four he asked Bishop why
he hadn’t written a story about a
digger.
“He said ‘well I think you
should write a book about a
digger because I’d like to read it’
and I thought ‘oh okay’,” Bishop
said.
Soon after Bruiser was published,
a book about an angry
digger that becomes caring and
sensitive towards the end of
the story.
Bishop said when he first started
authoring children’s books he
was keen to write his own stories
about things he wanted to write
about.
He has stories based off his
Māori whakapapa and has rewritten
old fairy tales. However,
in recent years, he has been
commissioned to write books by
his publishers, which he said has
been a new challenge.
His latest book is called E Hoa,
with te reo Māori and English
versions available. It is part of a
series for very young children,
which will be released on
Wednesday.
The book aims at showing children
how to talk about feelings
through a friendship between a
child and their dog.
Bishop tends to work on one
book at a time, preferring to finish
one concept before moving
onto the next.
He said his work can become
quite consuming and often has
a hard time switching off from
thinking about his books.
“I’m always working on it, it’s
hard to let it go.”
Of the 70-plus books Bishop
has created, several have been
translated into different languages,
mostly to other European
languages, but recently he has
had some translated into Asian
languages.
Bruiser has been translated
and sold in China, Taiwan
and Korea and another book
called Teddy One Eye, which is
a disguised biography about his
life seen through the eyes of his
teddy bear, has been translated
and sold in China.
“I don’t hear from anyone in
China who has read it but the
fact that it’s been reprinted a
couple of times means that it’s
obviously selling well enough,”
he said.
Bishop believes a country is
made up partly by its literature
and arts, something he thinks
New Zealanders tend to forget
– instead, getting carried away
with devotion to sport.
“I think in a hundred years
time people will still know who
Kiri Te Kanawa is and who Janet
Frame was and who Joy Cowley
was. They’ll still know those
people because their work will
still be speaking to the people in
the future.”
When asked if he thought he
would ever have more than 70
books published he admitted
he just started and “sort of kept
going.”
It never occurred to him how
successful he would be, although
it was “nice to be recognised”
through various awards he said.
He has recently been named
a finalist in the Publishers Association
of New Zealand 2022
awards for best children’s book,
which will be announced in September.
He has previously won
two PANZ awards for the best
use of illustration in a children’s
book in 2000 and 2009.
When asked if retirement was
approaching at the ripe old age
of 76, he laughed and said he
wouldn’t know what to do with
himself if he stopped creating
books.
“At the moment I’m managing
to produce work that’s okay and
I’ll keep going while I’m doing
that. I mean it keeps me alive, it’s
challenging and it’s interesting
and I get to meet interesting
people,” he said.
“Writing books for our
children with stories about us is
really important.”

Linwood College to Te Aratai College
2022 has been a momentous year for our kura. At the start of Term 2
we returned to Aldwins Rd, our original school site of 68 years, and into
our completely rebuilt school and our new name, Te Aratai College.
ADVERTISEMENT
We were off-site for just under three years
at the former Avonside GHS site, itself a
physically beautiful environment. Therefore,
we did not have to live in the middle of a major
building site with what would have been the
shifting temporary classrooms, the dust, mud
and noise. It also meant that a year came off
the building timeline.
Sustainable development along Ōtākaro.
We have responded to the clear community
voice for our rebuild, community consultation
which we deliberately gathered by gathered
by visiting local markets, supermarkets and
in our ongoing dialogue with whānau. Te
Aratai College has purpose-built general and
specialist facilities for classroom learning,
sports, and cultural pursuits. Our kura has both
the best of existing teaching practices, and
the positive practices that arise through the
personalisation of learning. We remain rigorous
about the difference between a positive change
for student success and what is a fad.
Festival of Nations held at Ōtākaro site.
Our architects, Architectus, also designed
Tūranga, the central library, so our rebuilt
school is of the same exceptional quality.
Likewise, Southbase, our construction
company, and RDT, our project managers, are
very experienced in significant projects which
centre on the moral imperative.
Of course, it is true that buildings alone do
not necessarily improve education. The
relationship with the teacher - he tāngata, he
tāngata, he tāngata - and the personalisation
of learning are the two key factors for this,
but there is also no doubt that new, purposebuilt
buildings and spaces that arise from
community values and priorities can contribute
hugely to these two factors.
Students learning in library of
Te Whare Matauranga.
Te Aratai College believes in a strengthsbased,
pathwayed curriculum starting with
each student’s strengths. Therefore, education
at our school is about seeing the whole person
– classroom learning, sport, music, drama
– and how these developmentally positive
experiences enrich students’ understanding
and nurture students’ focus by contextualising
their learning. In this way learning is
meaningful to the individual and strengthsbased.
PM visits for Te Aratai opening
Students learn best when who they are in
terms of language, culture and identity is
affirmed. Enhancing the mana and dignity
of the individual is at the heart of Te Aratai
College. We are pleased that our community
is valuing our school’s direction resulting in
significant roll-growth, over 60% in the last few
years. This has meant that Stage 2 of building
programme is beginning immediately to be
completed for the start of the 2024 school year
for a roll of 1200 students. Stage 3 follows:
1800 students, the size of the school in the
1980s.
Our school’s Year 7-13 curriculum centred
in our Te Aratai College campus creates
aspiration and community. We are very
fortunate to be home at Aldwins Rd.

Recognising the fallen: One man’s mission
• By Chris Barclay
TERRY MCLAUGHLIN began
quietly walking every row of
Sydenham Cemetery before last
Christmas, on a mission.
His end goal was apparent
last week when the retired nurse
hammered a cross into the
unmarked grave of a Gallipoli
veteran who was affected by
killing long before World War 1.
McLaughlin recently
completed researching 16,000
plots on the city council database
to find fallen soldiers like
Private Patrick Fahey 6/894 1st
Battalion Canterbury Infantry
Regiment.
McLaughlin traced Fahey, who
was wounded in Turkey and then
again on the Western Front, to
Block B Section 11 Plot 28 – and
then gradually pieced together
the 41-year-old’s grim life story.
Fahey’s war service was typical
of young New Zealanders who
enlisted after war broke out in
1914 – after basic training he was
shipped to the Middle East before
landing at Anzac Cove on April
25, 1915.
He was shot in the hand 13
days later during the second
Battle of Krithia and after
convalescing in Malta and
England, Fahey rejoined his
unit in July, 1916 to hold a
“quiet” sector of the frontline at
Armentieres.
Two months later the
Canterbury regiment was
redeployed to the Somme, where
a shrapnel wound to Fahey’s right
forearm resulted in a return to
England and medical discharge
in January, 1917.
He died in Christchurch
Hospital on October 28, 1926,
three days after he was found
in a Kilmore St boarding house
intoxicated and unconscious with
a fractured skull. The coroner
returned an open verdict.
McLaughlin also discovered
Fahey’s early life was linked
to a tragic demise – his Irish
immigrant alcoholic father
shot his mother dead before
turning the gun on himself after
a domestic dispute in Chertsey,
south-west of Christchurch, on
January 18, 1889.
“Mary Fahey had hidden at a
neighbour’s house but she was
found by Francis, who dragged
her outside,” McLaughlin said.
“A constable ordered Fahey to
release his wife but he shot her
twice in the head, and again in
the abdomen as she fell to the
ground. He immediately put the
gun to his own head and fired
but the round only grazed his
scalp. He fired again, this time
successfully.”
Patrick Fahey, his elder brother
Francis Jnr and the youngest boy
William John were sent to an
LONG CAMPAIGN: Terry
McLaughlin researched
every plot at Sydenham
Cemetery to unearth
unrecognised resting places
of war veterans, including
that of Private Patrick Fahey
(above).

orphanage in Nelson.
McLaughlin found no record
of William John Fahey after he
was enrolled; Francis Jnr never
married and died in Awapuni
Hospital, near Palmerston North,
in 1953, aged 74.
Intrigued by the story,
McLaughlin felt there would
only be a satisfactory ending
“once he (Patrick Fahey) has got a
headstone”.

• From page 11
Fittingly, this memorial is
scheduled to be unveiled on
Remembrance Day, November
11, due to the New Zealand
Remembrance Army, a charity
dedicated to restoring war graves.
McLaughlin joined as a
volunteer and has identified the
resting places of 436 veterans in
the Sydenham Cemetery.
From that number, 43 are
unmarked, including four other
Great War survivors, whose
service will also be recognised by
granite headstones with a ceramic
poppy attached.
Fahey will be acknowledged,
figuratively, alongside Sapper
Ernest Perry, Private William
Hudson Wingham and Sergeant
George Withers.
Sergeant Alan Grimshaw, a
member of Jayforce who also
served in the Royal New Zealand
Army Medical Corps during the
Malayan Emergency, belatedly
benefits from McLaughlin’s tireless
fact-finding as well. He died,
aged 80, in 1999.
Eventually, the Remembrance
Army wants to restore up
to 15,000 service graves in
Christchurch and Canterbury
so the dead are appreciated for
generations to come.
A dozen more headstones have
already been earmarked for Sydenham,
while 200 poppies are
destined for Linwood Cemetery.
Remembrance Army chief
executive Simon Strombom said
while all service graves in Wellington
and Taranaki had been
restored, there was still work to
do in Canterbury.

“It’s going to take three or
four years, we’re going to make
a substantial investment in Canterbury,”
he said,
McLaughlin’s connection
to the Remembrance Army
stemmed from growing up near
the Avro Woodford factory –
home of the RAF’s famed WW2
vintage Lancaster bomber.
“I’ve always had an interest in
military history. I grew up with it
(in Cheshire) with it all around,”
the 69-year-old said.
“I was brought up about half
a mile from the Avro factory. I
reckon I’ve seen every Avro Vulcan
ever made fly over my house
at 150 feet, coming into land.”
McLaughlin, who moved to
New Zealand in 1986, went to a
Remembrance Army working
bee last year, where it was
suggested Sydenham Cemetery
was his ideal location to explore
because he lived nearby.
“I thought; ‘That’s alright then,
I’ve always liked cemeteries’.
Then I went to the city council
website and found there’s nearly
16,000 burials there. I thought:
‘I’m retired and have plenty of
spare time’.
“I did one pass through the
cemetery, it took a few days obviously,
and then I took a photo of
every headstone that could have
possibly belonged to a service
veteran,” he said, explaining
he excluded people born before
1860 or after the 1930s.
“Once I’d eliminated the
photos of headstones of people
who didn’t have a service history
I started going through the cemetery
ledgers. I’ve audited every
burial there.
“There’s some amazing stories
and the fact the Remembrance
Army is uncovering and
recording them for posterity is
what matters.”

Sumner has easy run to play-offs
HOME GROUND ADVANTAGE: The two-time defending
champion Sumner Colts team celebrate another victory at St
Leonards Square as the semi-finals beckon.
PHOTOS: FIN OCHEDUSZKO BROWN ​
• By Fin Ocheduszko Brown
SUMNER IS closing on a third
successive Christchurch Metro
colts rugby title after coasting
into the play-offs as top qualifier.
Unbeaten at their St Leonards
Square home ground for three
seasons, Sumner host High
School Old Boys on Saturday
while Shirley and Marist Albion
are also vying for a place in the
decider.
Sumner finished the regular
season with a perfect seven-win
record in conference A and then
thrashed Christchurch 41-0
in their preliminary final last
Saturday.
The competition’s premier colts
squad are the only unbeaten side
in the 16-team competition and
head into the semi-finals with a
positive points differential of 344,
and the stingiest defence.
HSOB finished third in conference
A with five wins a draw and
a loss – ominously a 45-18 defeat
to Sumner on June 11.
Sumner’s all-round qualities
were again on display against
Christchurch, albeit after a
sluggish start last Saturday as
they racked up seven tries while
keeping their line intact.
Coach Ben Gorst said the side
“got into their groove” after 15
minutes, prop Jack Jones 16th try
QUALITY: Packing down a scrum in a one-sided contest.
of the season setting the tone for
another one-sided contest.
Jones then turned provider for
halfback Jack Rule before first
five-eighths Terrence Graham
crossed out wide to give Sumner
a 15-point advantage at the
break.
Hooker Connor Newton added
a brace in the second spell and
also set up fullback Jack Forrest
for the penultimate five-pointer
with a slick offload.
Impact loose forward Manson
Samuelu’s completed the
try-scoring off the bench via a
30m burst before Forrest added
his third and final conversion.
Sumner captain Henry Ullrich
was rapt with the performance
given they had to prepare indoors
at Mt Pleasant School due
to inclement weather.
“We couldn’t do our training
how we wanted to,” he said,
although restricted contact training
was not an issue.
Ullrich said a highlight of the
performance was keeping the
opposition scoreless.
“I had trust in the boys, but I
didn’t realise it was going to be
that much of a blowout,” he said.

Treasures of the past:
Dog town connections
IT SEEMS Lyttelton has always
been a town that welcomes
our four-legged friends. Our
first image from the museum’s
collection features a brawny dog
on Ōtamahua Quail Island, prior
to Robert Falcon Scott’s ill-fated
1910-13 Terra Nova Expedition
that was based in Christchurch.
Scott had chosen the city
for its magnetic observatory
and excellent Lyttelton port
facilities, and also possibly the
family connection (his cousin
R.J. Scott was then a professor
of engineering at Canterbury
University).
Explorers like Scott and Shackleton
also used the Ōtamahua
Quail Island quarantine facility
as a quarantine and training
location for the dogs and ponies
they took to Antarctica.
For the Terra Nova Expedition,
Scott had asked the Irish-born
adventurer Cecil Meares to lead
the dog sledge teams, along with
the experienced Russian dog
handlers Anton Omelchenko
and Dmitry Girev. In November
1910, at Lyttelton, they loaded
34 dogs, along with 19 Siberian
ponies and three motorised
sledges, aboard the Terra Nova
to take on coal and then on
to Antarctica. The dogs were
mostly Siberian huskies and were
essential on those early Antarctic
expeditions for sledge pulling.
On arrival in McMurdo Sound
they set up the first base at Cape
Evans on Ross Island, putting
up a prefabricated structure
now known as Scott’s Hut. This
base served as an important
shelter for the Terra Nova teams
and their animals, as well as
for members of Shackleton’s
1915-17 Ross Sea party who were
marooned there for 18 months.
Dug out from the ice in 1956 by
a US expedition, the hut remains
remarkably well preserved to this
day.
While the ponies on Scott’s
expedition did not fare well in
the fierce polar conditions, and
the motorised sledges even less
so, it was the dog teams that
came through and performed
beyond Scott’s expectations.
Some of the men built very close
relationships with individual
dogs – Scott’s favourite was
named Osman, which famously
saved a sledge and team of 10
263 x 180
before sailing for Port Chalmers
harnessed dogs from sliding into
a crevasse.
While Scott and four more
of his team failed to survive
the return journey from the
South Pole, Osman returned to
Lyttelton with the Terra Nova
in 1913 and lived happily with
Dmitry Girev in Christchurch
for the next three years. After
Girev returned to Russia in
1916, Osman was sent to the
Wellington Zoo with newspapers
of the day heralding the arrival
of “Osman the Great”. There,

Whyte’s tribute

Shackleton’s dogs from the 1914
expedition, Osman lived out his
adventurous life.
The wonderful bronze statue
by local sculptor Mark Whyte,
near the site of the proposed new
museum, pays tribute to those
canine workers and companions
of the early explorers. He
gazes towards both Ōtamahua
Quail Island and due south to
Antarctica itself. We note how
shiny his ears are becoming due
to constant patting by passers-by.
History is alive and well, right on
our main street.

22 Bay Harbour News Wednesday July 27 2022
Get the most out of your tank of fuel
EVEN AMIDST a relentless tidal
surge of sport utility vehicles, I’m
pleased to report there is still room
in our market for the traditional
small hatchback.
What’s more, you don’t have to
pay a lot of money for it, Suzuki
has been doing it well for as long as
I can remember with the Swift, and
Toyota’s Yaris and Honda’s Jazz are
all still around.
The latter have slowly crept up
in price over the years and now
the company accountants for
those brands must be looking at
sharpening their pencils for there’s
a new benchmark for buyers who
are wanting into that part of the
market.
Enter the MG3, a 1.5-litre fivedoor
that epitomises everything
small hatchbacks represent. It lands
here in base-model form at $19,490
as tested. It is labelled Core, if you
spend an extra $2k, that will buy
you into the Excite. What’s more,
these prices are driveaway, on road
costs are included, there’s also the
inclusion of a seven-year warranty,
roadside assistance and warrant of
fitness checks.
To me that is great value, and it’s
easy to see why MG is making a
mark in Christchurch, there are a
lot of them around and the range is
quite vast along with a wide variety
of colours. The evaluation car was
SQUAT: The MG3 imparts a sporty look.
painted a vivid red and it received
favourable comment.
MG is a company that needs little
introduction; sure, it has lost most
of its old English heritage, but the
Shanghai Automotive Industry
Corporation, the Chinese company
that now owns the brand, has been
loyal to MG’s past, the product is
well built and exciting, which I
guess is why the name Excite is part
of the MG3’s image.
The MG3 is short at just under
4m, but it has a cheeky look and its
squat rear end promotes a sporty
appearance.
It is also well equipped for its
price. Major items include central
display screen, digitally controlled
air conditioning, cruise control,
electric windows all round, electric
mirror adjustment and trip
computer. For safety there’s a host
of kit including stability control,
corner brake control, emergency
brake assist, reversing camera, no
fewer than six air bags and ISOFIX
child seat mounts.
That’s not a bad package for a
car around $20k and one which
will win favour amongst those who
want a small hatchback but have a
limited budget.
The fabric-trimmed Core
specification model would be the
one I want, the Excite will give you
quasi leather, bigger wheels and a
few other goodies, but I like base
MG3 CORE: At $19,490 it is a bargain price for a new car.
specification models and the Core
really wants for little.
Under the bonnet sits a 1498cc,
four-cylinder petrol engine. There
are no surprises here but for the
fact it is quiet and well-engineered
for performance and fuel thrift.
MG claims power outputs of
82kW and 150Nm. They are
realised a little towards the top end
at 6000rpm and 4500rpm, but that
means it is a happy engine that
will work freely through the rev
band, and given the total weight of
the car is still well under 1-tonne
then the strength of the engine
low down isn’t significant. The
MG3 will accelerate to 100km/h
in 11.5sec, and if you are held up
by a slower car on the highway, it
will complete an overtake in 8.2sec
(80-120km/h).
More important, is the fuel usage
equation, MG claims a combined
cycle average of 6.7-litres per
100km. During a week in my care
the MG3 returned some thrifty fuel
usage figures such as a 7.8l/100km
combined cycle average along with
a 5.1l/100km figure sitting at a
100km/h cruise.
Drive is transferred to the front
wheels through a four-speed
automatic transmission. It’s fair to
say that even with just four gears
it is a sweet shifting gearbox and
the ratios are well structured to
extract maximum energy from the
• Price – MG3 Core, $19,490
• Dimensions – Length,
4055mm; width, 1729mm;
height, 1504mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,

150Nm, four-speed
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11.5sec
• Fuel usage – 6.7l/100km
engine. Top gear moderates engine
speed quite nicely, the engine ticks
over freely but not too quickly at
open road speed, the rev counter
pointing to 2500rpm at 100km/h.
It must be said, too, the MG3
travels at open road speed quietly.
There are few wind gushes, and
sound off the 15in tyres is kept
to a minimum – soundproofing
throughout the vehicle is in
abundance.
One of the advantages of high
profile tyres is the associated
ride quality and that is spread
throughout the interior. Even
though the rear suspension is a
simplistic tube/torsion beam
type, there is smooth absorption,
bumps and lumps are arrested well
even though the rear spring and
damper rates are a little on the firm
side.
I took the evaluation car on my
normal highway run west towards
the alps. It covers ground without
fuss, a strong nor’wester was
blowing as I headed towards inland
and was buffeting the side of the
car but it felt stable and tight on the
road, corrections to the steering
were only marginal.
There are a couple of inland
corners I really like, so I pointed
the MG3 at them quite quickly
and the first impressions of
turn-in are that of accuracy and
composure.
Driving the wee MG3 is relaxing
and somewhat rewarding, I was
somewhat reluctant to take it back
to the dealership, as a driver you
very quickly become one with
the car. If you take into account
the original outlay you get good
value motoring and transport
which won’t tax the wallet at fill-up
time, and if you are worried about
ballooning fuel prices, the MG3
performs happily on 91 octane.
An acquaintance of mine is an
MG aficionado, there are several
in his driveway amidst a raft of
other English classics. For as
long as I have known him he has
driven nothing else other than
English cars – up until now, I
see an MG3 has pride of place in
the driveway, that must be some
recommendation for the modern
age of MG.

What’s happening in Banks Peninsula
It’s a privilege to serve as your MP for Banks Peninsula, representing communities from Akaroa to
Cashmere, Sumner to Halswell, and all parts in between. And one of the biggest privileges is getting out
and about and seeing what is going on out there – innovative enterprises, strong communities, ecological
restoration, and people having fun!
Restoring Te Waihora
Minister for Conservation Poto Williams and I met DOC staff and volunteers and
saw a Jobs for Nature team in action restoring the wetlands. The Te Waihora
Jobs for Nature programme is expected to create jobs for 31 people and involves
planting thousands of eco-sourced native plants and trees
It’s just one of the Jobs for Nature projects across the Banks Peninsula electorate.
Planting in Avoca Valley, the restoration of Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour, and
the pest and weed control work across the Port Hills and the Peninsula will make
a real difference to the health of our environment and create jobs to boot.
Reducing on-farm emissions
The Prime Minister, Rino Tirikatene MP and I also slipped on some Redbands
to visit the Ravensdown EcoPonds to learn more about how they are reducing
greenhouse gas emissions on farms, utilising state-of-the-art technology to
remove virtually all the methane emitted from effluent ponds. Very interesting
and impressive work – Kiwi ingenuity on display!
Te Aratai College opening
It was amazing to officially open the amazing new Te Aratai College with the Prime
Minister, who gave a hopeful and heartfelt speech to some very enthusiastic
students and passionate staff. The facilities are fabulous and will no doubt provide
a nurturing environment for the many students who will pass through the brand
new doors.
Congratulations to everyone involved and thank you to Principal Dick
Edmundson, Board Chair Finlay Laird and Foundation Chair Linda Rutland for
their vision and hard work. We were honoured to offer a beautiful pounamu for
what will be the annual Norman Kirk Manākitanga Award.
Investing in the trades
I briefly fancied myself as a skilled tradesperson while having a good look around
Ara’s Woolston Trades Campus! Budget 2022 funded another apprenticeship
boost which is good news given the demand for skilled tradespeople is high – it is
a great way to become your own boss or create a business that employs
other tradespeople.

Helping out with flower power
The Halswell Community Hub is brightening up with crochet and knitted flowers,
bringing a splash of coloured to mid-winter school holidays!
The very clever Trudy from the craft group at Halswell Community Hub has made
the first contribution to the tree - Megan Woods MP and I seamlessly added a
poppy each, and Keri and Kate say come on over to add your knitted/crochet
flowers too.
Matariki at Takapūneke
Matariki was special this year, as we marked it with a public
holiday for the first time.
I was able to plant a tree for Pou tū te Raki o Te Maiharanui at the hugely
significant Takapūneke Reserve, hosted by Ōnuku Rūnanga. It’s a place of great
and tragic importance for Ngāi Tahu but also as part of the story of the Treaty of
Waitangi, for all New Zealanders. It’s not only an important story of the past but
sets an excellent example for today. Many thanks to Carmel Sepuloni MP and
Rino Tirakatene MP for being here for such a special day
Tackling the big issues:
taking action on the cost of living and health
This government is getting on and tackling some of the big issues
facing New Zealand. We know it isn’t easy but it is
important work.
I know that the cost of living is a major issue facing families.
There’s no easy fix but we’re taking action to address this challenge.
We introduced a cost of living package as part of Budget 2022, so
that 2.1 million people received a payment to help with rising prices. Now we
have extended the fuel tax cut, road user charge reduction, and half price
public transport to January 2022 as well as making half price public transport
permanent for Community Service Card holders.
In April we increased support for families, pensioners and students, and
recently our Winter Energy Payment has restarted which gives one million people
more money to help pay their heating bill.
We are tackling the supermarket sector to make sure
New Zealanders get a fair price at the checkout. To do this supermarkets
will open up wholesale access to competitors at a fair price. By opening up
supermarkets’ stockrooms, it will be easier for new competitors to enter the
grocery market, and ensure fairer prices. We’ve already passed a new law to
clamp down on anti-competitive covenants – I was on the Select Committee that
considered this legislation and it’s already making supermarkets change
their behaviour.
There’s more to do, but these changes make a difference for families.
I’m proud that this government stands for quality healthcare
for all New Zealanders, no matter who you are or where you live.
The health system we inherited was under serious pressure from years
of underinvestment. It wasn’t working for patients or the health workforce.
We had 20 disconnected health systems, so in response we’ve delivered
Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand and Te Aka Whai Ora – the Māori Health
Authority.
It puts an end to the postcode lottery which meant that where you lived
determined what care you got, and brings a focus on prevention rather than
the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. Creating ‘localities’ also ensures that
local voices and specific local needs are at the forefront of health delivery.
There’s still a lot more to do but this is a healthy step in the right direction.
We’re getting on with it.
